This article supersedes TSB 9-7-11 to update the model years covered and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) calibration level.
ISSUE
Some 2003-2007 F-Super Duty vehicles, 2003-2005 Excursions and 2004-2010 E-Series vehicles, equipped with a 6.0L diesel engine may exhibit hard
start, no start, white smoke, lack of power, running rough condition after cold engine start up, or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0404, P0470, P0611,
P1260 and/or P1378 issues. Refer to the Calibration Content for information detailing specific vehicle content by vehicle application and model year that
is being addressed by this calibration update.
This article includes previously released calibration content that improves injector performance in cold engine operation and additional diagnostic
capabilities and product protection strategy enhancements. These enhancements provide additional diagnostic capabilities, adds additional new DTCs
and engine protection strategies. Refer to the Calibration Content for additional details. See the appropriate Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnostic
(PC/ED) manual for technical descriptions and diagnostic routines associated with new DTCs.
ACTION
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) using IDS release 63.13 and higher or 64.01 and higher. The transmission control module (TCM) and
fuel injector control module (FICM) , will automatically update if they are not at the latest calibration level. This new calibration is not included in the
VCM 2009.11 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
CALIBRATION CONTENT
Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 418-01.
The PCM and FICM calibration update contains improvement actions to address the following symptoms:
2005 F-Super Duty 6.0L:
^ False DTC P0470 - Exhaust pressure sensor A circuit fault due to a freezing condition.
^ False DTC P0404 - Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) performance due to a stuck turbocharger condition.
^ Cooling loss protection - Revised engine protection strategy when an engine over-temperature condition is present. Vehicles updated with this service
calibration will display higher temperature gauge readings when high engine oil temperature (EOT) conditions or high engine coolant temperature
(ECT) are encountered and may disable EGR operation to prevent possible EGR cooler damage.
^ Oil cooler efficiency monitor - DTC PO12F stored and wrench warning lamp illuminated when the oil coolers efficiency drops below a specified
threshold for a given speed and vehicle load condition.
^ Turbocharger vane sweep strategy - Performs a sweep of the turbocharger vanes and unison ring during stationary idle conditions. Vane sweep can
occur once per hour to help reduce turbocharger sticking.
^ FICM low voltage detection monitor - DTC P0560 stored and wrench warning lamp illuminated when PCM vehicle power (VPWR) parameter
identifier (PIDS) is below 10.25V for 60 seconds or below 9V for 4 seconds.
^ Turbocharger over boost detection - DTC P0234 stored and wrench warning lamp illuminated when a turbocharger over boost condition occurs.
2006-2007 F-Super Duty 6.0L:
^ False DTC P0404 - EGR performance due to a stuck turbocharger condition.
^ Cooling loss protection - Revised engine protection strategy when an engine over-temperature condition is present. Vehicles updated with this service
calibration will display higher temperature gauge readings when high EOT conditions or high ECT are encountered and may disable EGR operation to
